<3 Rodrigo y Gabriela

Pretty sweet animation as well.

I like the horns and larger band, but overall... they've got nothin' on Rodrigo y Gabriela, as far as I'm concerned anyway. Bit too camp for me, whereas RyG are straight-up badass mix of flamenco/mariachi and metal.

Well shucks Mr. Jonson, I like that one more too. If you look on my profile you'll find that I like the live music ones.

If you post it, I'll upvote and I reckon I could even find a promote.

They met in Mexico City, playing in a heavy metal band, but moved to Ireland. The articles linked above are kinda interesting, too.

I discovered Rodrigo y Gabriela quite by accident. I got into Metal music while growing up originally due to Metallica, and they remain one of my favorite bands. My favorite Metallica song is Orion -- one of their long instrumental songs from back when Cliff Burton was still alive. Anyway, I also have a love for hearing covers and reinterpretations of songs that I like, so one day I was surfing the web and did a search for "orion cover", finding the Rodrigo y Gabriela version. I love it, and it got me into their whole catalog and original works like this one also.

Thanks for the sift!

Thanks Eric!
